For Queensland: Our role in Queensland’s future

We support the government’s commitment to create more jobs, deliver better services and protect Queenslanders’ lifestyle. We contribute to the Queensland Government’s objectives for the community – Unite and Recover, and we play a significant role in Queensland’s future through:

creating more employment opportunities for industries and local business, especially in regional areas
targeting emissions reduction for a greener, more sustainable future
contributing to successful carbon-neutral Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The Strategic Plan 2022–2026 recognises our commitment to human rights, acknowledges our First Peoples and highlights our 6 values – all of which are central to the culture we want to achieve together.

The Strategic Plan 2022–2026 details the strategic risks that we need to manage, the opportunities we can pursue, the strategies we will employ to deliver our objectives and the performance indicators that will measure our success.
